Wells to be featured on national television

The community of Wells will be featured on CBC Television’s Still Standing next week.

It airs at 7pm on Tuesday, December 11th, and can also be seen at the Sunset Theatre in the town.

Karen Jeffery is the Artistic Director at the theatre.

“They featured various stories and people. Peter Corbett is an artist there and Julie Fowler who runs Island Mountain Arts and Arts Wells Festival and then we have James Douglas himself with the Fred Wells show, and they did skidooing and the outdoor area as well, so it’s a little bit of cross section of everything in Wells.”

Jeffery said Jonny Harris, at the end, then does a stand-up routine on the people he met and the things he did while in the community.

She said the locals loved it and are excited to see the final product.

Jefferey said it is a great opportunity to showcase the community as well.
